Then perhaps I should have complained about this earlier so I could be
identified as the first person.  I also noticed that the configure
script does not work for MinGW.  I used the MSYS (Cygwin-like) shell
to run it.  This ended up being the biggest impediment I encountered
when building a full-fledged ImageMagick using the MinGW compiler.

I noticed that disabling the HTTP/FTP support via the configure option
didn't stop that code from being built.

It does not seem difficult to update the configure script to support
MinGW since libxml already builds using Visual C++.  The
configure-based approach is much more desireable than a seperate
Makefile.
